I'm in the middle of decorating for local Christmas Tours and don't want to share too much here just yet but couldn't resist sharing a little....

My hubby brought home this little cedar tree and I thought it would be perfect for this empty space in the kitchen. I simply adorned it with some of the wood gift tags I made.

And as you can see, I'm a jar person. I love decanting all my dry goods into pretty vintage jars. The more the merrier. :)

The two vintage paintings I actually found in a dumpster. I was so drawn to them so I snatched them up and gave them a home in my kitchen.

I was so excited to decorate the dining room this year.

The chippy red bench was also found by my hubby and I thought it was perfect for Christmas and our home in it's less than perfect condition. (Sorry for the sun glaring in the photo)

I love using things from nature to decorate so these walnut tree stumps definitely got to come inside for the season. I sanded them a little and sprayed them with a clear gloss.

And here's a little peak at our stairs. I usually never share them because I don't like the staircase. I dream of having a beautiful stair rail but for now, we don't. I was inspired by Carla's stair project last year so I did my own version this year with one of my dad's favorite Christmas songs.

"We have such profound power when we lend an ear, a hand, or an act of kindness because it reminds the recipient that people are good. People do care. That’s what gives life meaning: the people who touch our lives, and the people whose lives we touch."
